It is believed that the expectations reflected in these statements are reasonable but they may be affected by a variety of variables and changes in underlying assumptions which could cause actual results or trends to differ materially, including but not limited to: price fluctuations, actual demand, currency fluctuations, drilling and production results, reserve estimates, loss of market, industry competition, environmental risks, physical risks, legislative, fiscal and regulatory developments, economic and financial market conditions in various countries and regions, political risks, project delay or advancement, approvals and cost estimates. The Company, its directors, officers and employees make no representation, warranty, (express or implied), or assurance as to the completeness or accuracy of forward looking statements. The Company announced the prospective resources estimate for the Western Blocks in its announcement Red Emperor to acquire interest in large oil prospect in prolific Alaska North Slope on 25 June The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in that announcement, and that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates in that announcement continue to apply and have not materially changed. 2

3 Prospective Resources Cautionary Statement Best Estimate Prospective Resources: 400 Mmbbl (126MMbbl net to RMP) The estimated quantities of petroleum that may potentially be recovered by the application of future development projects relate to undiscovered accumulations. These estimates have both an associated risk of discovery and a risk of development. Further exploration appraisal and evaluation is required to determine the existence of a significant quantity of potentially moveable hydrocarbons. The prospective resources information in this document is effective as at 30 April The prospective resources information in this document has been estimated and is classified in accordance with SPE-PRMS (Society of Petroleum Engineers Management System). The prospective resources information in this document is reported according to RMP s economic interest in the resources and net of royalties. The prospective resources information in this document has been estimated and prepared using the deterministic method. The prospective resources information in this document has been estimated using a 6:1 BOE conversion ratio for gas to oil; 6:1 conversion ratio is based on an energy equivalency conversion method and does not represent value equivalency. The prospective resources information in this document has been estimated on the basis that products are sold on the spot market with delivery at the sale point on the production facilities. Prospective resources are reported on a best estimate basis. In respect to the prospective resources referred to in this statement, RMP s working interest in the four leases (ADL#s , , and ) totaling 22,711 acres all of which are located on the North Slope, Alaska, will be 31.5%. The prospective resources have been estimated on the following basis: the best estimate prospective resource calculation was based on a consideration of offset well information and seismic expression; a combination of volumetric assessment and field analogues have been used to estimate the prospective resources; exploration drilling will be required to assess these resources. The chance of discovery is considered moderate as the prospective resources are near developed and undeveloped reserves and in a proven oil and gas producing province. There is a risk that exploration will not result in sufficient volumes of oil and/or gas for a commercial development. Prospective resources are un-risked and have not been adjusted for an associated chance of discovery and a chance of development. 3

6 The Western Blocks Red Emperor to acquire four (4) exploration leases (the Western Blocks) on the prolific Alaska North Slope Transaction is with Great Bear Petroleum Ventures II LLC (Great Bear) who have one of the largest acreage positions on the North Slope RMP to drill a 400MMbbl best estimate prospective resource target - a direct analogue to the recent Horseshoe-1/1A discovery Horseshoe-1/1A is located immediately to the west and is part of the billion-barrel plus Nanushuk oil play fairway, the largest U.S. onshore conventional oil discovery in 30 years Red Emperor s working interest will be 31.5% (26.5% NRI) with the company fully funded to meet its share of all work commitments associated with the acquisition and work program Red Emperor has formed a consortium with two well-funded and experienced JV partners (88 Energy Limited & Otto Energy Limited) to execute a drill program in early 2019 Potential extension of Nanushuk play fairway 6

7 Alaska North Slope Red Emperor s Western Blocks (ADL#s , , & ) are located on the Alaska North Slope and cover 22,710 acres The North Slope is a prolific oil producing area in the US, having produced over 17Bbbls with an estimated 40Bbbls of undiscovered recoverable conventional oil The North Slope contains two (2) of the Top 10 US oil fields by proven reserves, Prudhoe Bay & Kuparuk and hosts a number of the major global oil companies Prudhoe Bay has produced more than 12.5 billion barrels since 1977 with peak production of 1.5 million barrels per day Kuparuk River came online in 1981 and has produced more than 2.5 billion barrels The recently discovered Nanushuk oil fairway - previously overlooked and dismissed - has created an exciting new exploration play on the North Slope Red Emperor plans to test the extension of the Nanushuk oil fairway to the east, just as the Horseshoe well extended it to the South 1.2 Bbbls (inc.
